CloudBees Acquires Launchable to Advance Testing Using AI
Summary
CloudBees today revealed it has acquired Launchable, a provider of a test automation platform, to enable DevOps teams to improve both application security and software quality. Sacha Labourey, chief strategy officer for CloudBees, said the addition of the Launchable platform provides organizations with testing capabilities augmented by artificial intelligence (AI) that can be easily added to existing DevSecOps workflows. The challenge now is applying AI to accelerate the pace at which increased amounts of code can move through DevSecOps pipelines. After all, the code and suggestions generated by these tools still need to be reviewed by DevOps professionals to prevent the occasional hallucination from being incorporated into a production environment. The challenge is that if all those applications are not properly tested that increased pace of deployment might just as easily wind up being too much of the proverbial good thing.
